About the company
Arete Consulting LLC, an SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, holds multiple government-wide acquisition contract positions as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) and competes exclusively under small-business set-asides. The vendor operates as a program management, technical engineering, and IT services provider to three federal customer agencies, delivering work across seven functional domains: management and advisory, technical and engineering, research and development, intelligence services, environmental services, facilities, and logistics.
Arete's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard, which accounts for 7 awards (55% of total award count) with a combined potential value of $27.7 million. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks second by award count (5 awards) but dominates by potential value ($50 billion combined), reflecting Arete's position on three OASIS+ IDIQ vehicles — the 8(a) set-aside track (Competitive 8(a)), the Total Small Business set-aside track, and the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business track — each carrying a multi-billion-dollar ceiling and multiple-award status. The Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid contributes 1 award valued at $2.9 million. Recent representative work includes a $7.97 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order (awarded September 27, 2026) for integrated program management and IT support to the Coast Guard Acquisition Service Center through September 2029, a $4.76 million Competitive 8(a) task order (September 30, 2025) for program management and systems engineering to the USCG Unmanned Aviation Systems Program Office, and a $2.86 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order (July 19, 2025) for operations and maintenance of the Health Education Assistance Loan Online Processing System under 8(a) STARS III.
Arete places delivery orders under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (3 task orders, $5.2 million combined potential value), the OASIS+ 8(a) vehicle (4 task orders, $20.8 million combined potential value), and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position (1 task order, $4.5 million), with additional runway on three broad OASIS+ IDIQ vehicles awarded in late 2024 and carrying no dollar ceiling specified in the source. Activity has grown from 1 award in 2022 to 4 awards each in 2024 and 2025. Three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $9.8 million and face recompete exposure.
Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts, Arete invoiced $5.6 million from FY2023 through FY2025, with the SCI dataset showing approximately 20 FTEs delivered in FY2025 against $3.3 million in invoiced revenue. Government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts run from a 10th percentile of $80.44/hr through a median of $97.91/hr to a 90th percentile of $201.09/hr. The vendor self-performs substantially all labor on its federal contracts — SCI records show an average sub-hours share of 3% across prime contracts, with a single named subcontractor reported. Arete holds active GSA Multiple Award Schedule positions across 17 labor categories spanning program analysts, management consultants, technical writers, and systems analysts, with hourly rates ranging from $83.88 to $150.53 and security clearance offerings at select rate levels.
